-
really? i could have sworn you liked to push out on your risers...
-
look, you making excuses already!
-
well, i like to pull mine down, in the orientation that they were designd, just shorter. some like to push them out, they argue that it makes the wing flatter, but in my opinion it is deforming the wing because your moving JUST the rears and not the fronts also... many different ways work for many different folks, find one you like and stick with it.
-
i understand it also, after some thinking. but it needs to be re worded. and there are 1 or 2 that are questionable. but all in all, very very nice quiz!!!! can i use it?

so true!.. your control range on a stilletto is very high, you can easaly loosen your brakes if the tail is deflecting at all..

all parachutes generate lift, the more speed the more lift. some canopies generate more lift than others. a stilletto will generate lift to the point where if you give it too much speed it will generate enough lift to start to gain altitude. if your having to get in your rears, im guessing it isnt to "trim" the canopy so it gets it glide path going forward, what i bet your doing is turning then letting it plain out on its own "wich a stilletto will do" then adding rear input, if a canopy is already going forward, there really isnt any reason to get into the rears, just go to toggles once the canopy slows down some so you can keep the lift. useing rears isnt for flairing when your swooping. it is more to trim the canopy so it is going across the ground. or to sling your center of gravity forward to generate speed on a canopy that is trimed very steep. and a stilletto is not.
